Control apparatus and control method for specular object detection based on an unmanned aerial vehicle's reflection

2. The control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit is further configured to detect, as the specific pattern, the emission pattern of the reflected light that is a reflection of the emitted light by the object.

3. The control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the determination unit is further configured to detect the emission pattern of the light-emitting unit that is arranged on the moving object.

4. The control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit is further configured to detect, as the specific pattern, a movement pattern of the moving object that is reflected in the object.

5. The control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance between the moving object and the object.

6. The control apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the distance calculation unit is further configured to calculate the distance between the moving object and the obstacle based on a virtual image of the moving object that is projected on the obstacle.

7. The control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an airframe control unit configured to cause the moving object to avoid the obstacle.

9. The control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an imaging control unit configured to control a timing at which the imaging unit captures an image of the object in synchronization with a timing at which the light-emitting unit arranged on the moving object emits light.

10. The control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the moving object comprises at least one of an unmanned flying device, an autonomous mobile robot, or an automatic driving vehicle.
